If You’re Comfortable, You’re Not Asking the Right Questions
We all know that feeling.
The day starts late, the mind’s a fog, and you think, well, there goes the day. You reach for the coffee, chase a spark of motivation, then hit that midmorning slide where the bed starts calling your name again.
You tell yourself you’ve fallen behind. That old voice says you’ve wasted the morning, that you should have done more by now, that you’re slipping.
Yes, I know that voice too.
But here’s what I’ve learned after years of unlearning:
You didn’t lose the day.
You chose to rest.
You chose to let your body do what it knows how to do—reset, replenish, recalibrate.
And that’s not laziness; that’s wisdom.
We’ve spent decades obeying the rulebook—get up early, stay busy, earn your worth. But those rules were written by people who profited from our exhaustion.
Rest isn’t rebellion. It’s reclamation.
Yes, change grinds before it glides.
Yes, friction is the feeling of forward motion.
Yes, comfort keeps you exactly where you are and calls it “safe.”
Yes, it’s easier to maintain what’s familiar than to ask for more.
And yes, every woman I know who’s broken through had to first sit in the ache of being uncomfortable.
That ache isn’t a warning—it’s a signpost.
The truth is, comfort is a con artist.
It hands you another year that looks just like the last one and tells you to be grateful for it. It keeps you small, polite, and reliable. It says, “Don’t make waves.”
But that ache in your gut, the one that says there’s more for me—that’s not restlessness. That’s resurrection.
If you’re uncomfortable, it means you’re still alive enough to want something new.
So today, don’t fight the friction. Listen to it.
Ask yourself what it’s trying to teach you about what’s next.
Because comfort never moved anyone forward—
but discomfort?
That’s your soul whispering, this way.
Now tell me :
What question is your discomfort asking you today?
💨 Your Turn: The Daily Breath Ritual
When I was stuck in the cocoon this week — spinning in that quiet, restless discomfort — the only thing that kept me from crawling out of my own skin was this simple practice.
Three or four times a day, I stopped.
I breathed.
I let my body lead instead of my mind.
That’s what I call my Daily Breath Ritual.
It’s small, soulful, and shockingly powerful. It’s how I navigated the friction instead of fighting it.
If you’ve been feeling that same edge — that mix of stillness and agitation that comes before change — this will help you breathe through it instead of breaking under it.
